Correct Answer :

Option A

DACB

Solution :

The correct option is DACB.


Let's analyze the given sentence fragments to determine the correct logical and grammatical order:

(A) when there is a problem with
(B) for maintaining fluid levels
(C) one or more of the body’s mechanisms
(D) water retention occurs


Step-by-step arrangement:

1. Starting Phrase (D): Phrase (D) "water retention occurs" serves as the main clause establishing the primary subject and action of the sentence.

2. Connecting Condition (A): Phrase (A) "when there is a problem with" introduces the conditional clause describing the circumstance under which water retention occurs.

3. Completing the Object of the Preposition (C): Phrase (A) ends with the preposition "with", which naturally links to Phrase (C) "one or more of the body’s mechanisms".

4. Purpose Clause (B): Phrase (B) "for maintaining fluid levels" acts as a modifier explaining the function of the body's mechanisms.


Putting it all together, we get the complete, grammatically sound sentence:
"Water retention occurs when there is a problem with one or more of the body’s mechanisms for maintaining fluid levels."


Thus, the correct sequence of phrases is DACB.
